Congratulations to J Hudson for pitching a gem for Plymouth State.  PS looks to be a team that will be getting into the fray in the LEC in future years!!

This has to be the most pathetic offensive showing I have EVER seen of an ECSU team in 40 years of watching!!!  UGGGGH
Stick the fork in, the Warriors are DONE for the year!!!!  .......and they are HOSTING the NCAA NE Regional Tournament What the .... ?

I jokingly predicted 8 conference wins for Plymouth this year... that's 7 so far.

Response to "PS looks to be a team that will be getting into the fray in the LEC in future years!!"--- Chatfield who beat USM and Hudson are both seniors.  Not sure who is coming in behind them for "recruits" but I wouldn't get ahead of ourselves.  But I'm focusing on the next game I'll get to my 2013 predictions later.

Has KSC done enough to punch their ticket to the NCAA?
I have to believe USM MUST win outright to get a bid!
EConn is on the bubble.
WE could see the LEC with 1 bid (KSC), 2 bids (Tourney Winner + KSC) or possibly 3 bids (Tourney winner + KSC + EConn).

What a mess.

PS Rest in peace Carroll Shelby I loved driving your Mustangs in my youth.

If EConn gets a bid... a true  blemish to d3baseball and all of the NE teams who work their tails off!

I think ECSU has played itself out of a bid. USM was ranked above Eastern this week. I think they need to win to get a bid. I think KSC is a lock. If Keene wins the LEC tournament I think that they are the only team from the LEC

The LEC tourney winner & KSC sounds legit...  KSC does not have a good history of winning the LEC tourney.

I think they are in a good position right now to win.

Sounds like a bad day overall for the Warriors.  Just saw the softball team (them ranked #2 and 41-1 on the year) got shut out at home by the Coast Guard Academy in the softball regionals.

Keene at 3rd is in no matter what else happens.  You can't leave the 3rd team out in New England, especially when the 1st 2 are pool A winners.
I believe USM was ahead of Eastern; that, the fact their still playing, and won the league gives them the edge over Eastern should the LEC get a 2nd bid.
Really can't see how Eastern gets a bid now, which is a shame sine their hosting.

I agree that Keene is a lock their resume is good enough to get in no matter what happens...

1. Over 30 wins
2. Ranked #3 in New England in most recent NCAA regional rankings
3. Good quality of schedule with wins over Eastern, and Wheaton
4.  Deep LEC tournament run

My question is why does Keene who is 2-0 have to play plymouth today who has one loss?  Shouldnt the RIC and USM winner have to play Plymouth to then go on and play Keene the last unbeaten team?  What happens if Plymouth beats Keene and now you have three one loss teams left in the tournament?  How would that work out?  LEC tournament is high drama this year, plymouth making a nice run, and eastern maybe playing their way out of an at large bid!!!

Sad to say, but I agree

I agree this is a screwed up schedule Keene should wait for the losers to play out. They have lost the advantage of being undefeated. And only playing two games today. They may not finish before the deadline for selection. What happens if they dont complete tomorrow?

Good question: I was confused yesterday as well but that what the NCAA handbook says....Having 5 teams left after 2 days really changes the format of the tourney....

Yeah 7, what a disaster!!  The women hopefully will bounce back, (Rathbun was due for a bad day), but when Reimer got injured and with Balowski and O'Connell seemingly now in a slump, I think it is now a lost cause.  The whole team sadly looked dead yesterday.  However, credit goes to the Eastern pitching staff which kept Eastern within striking distance and to the Plymouth and Keene pitching staffs for remarkable performances.   Also, there was some nice defensive play on all teams during the double header yesterday

What was up with Dimon yesterday?  He was pitching very well then there was a batter, (forgot who), which Holowaty wanted intentionally walked and Dimon went freaking ballistic, throwing fast balls to Commuso during the inten. walk!!?  UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I explained this schedule to the little lady and she said "I smell Flaherty's fingers in this". Any AD or head coach who agreed to this schedule should have their heads examined.
